  • If the stool looks very fatty and is unusually large or foul-smelling, the issue could be steatorrhea. (medicalnewstoday.com)
Fecal2
  • The definition of how much fecal fat constitutes steatorrhea has not been standardized. (wikipedia.org)

Steatorrhoea1
Diarrhoea1
Pancreatic insufficiency1
  • Medium chain triglycerides are also used to treat steatorrhea resulting from malabsorptive conditions, such as prior gastrectomy, pancreatic insufficiency, small bowel resection, etc. (openpr.com)
Oily2
  • No one really wants to talk about it, but oily poop-called steatorrhea-can be a simple case of what you ate, or something far more serious. (thehealthy.com)
  • This is actually known as steatorrhea, or the more commonly used term "oily stool. (thehealthy.com)
Symptoms1
  • The dosage of Zenpep should be individualized based on clinical symptoms, the degree of steatorrhea (fat in stool ) present, and the fat content of the diet. (rxlist.com)
Severe1
  • Steatorrhea improved in the 19 participants who completed the study, and in the 10 children with the more severe steatorrhea, the decrease in fat loss approached 20 percent. (bodybuildingforyou.com)
Disease3
  • Kochupillai, Narayana (1998) Prevalence and significance of steatorrhea in patients with active Graves' disease American Journal of Gastroenterology, 93 (7). (ias.ac.in)
  • Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of steatorrhea in patients with Graves' disease and to assess its significance and correlation with changes in body mass index (BMI), coefficient of fat absorption (COFA), and pancreatic exocrine function in these patients. (ias.ac.in)
  • Conclusion: Steatorrhea associated with a decrease in COFA can occur in a reversible manner in 46% of patients with Graves' disease. (ias.ac.in)
Disorders1
Weight1
  • However, steatorrhea in these patients is not linked with weight loss or with pancreatic exocrine dysfunction. (ias.ac.in)
Decrease1
Pill1
  • Other causes: Drugs that can produce steatorrhea include orlistat, a slimming pill, or as adverse effect of octreotide or lanreotide, used to treat acromegaly or other neuroendocrine tumors. (wikipedia.org)
Include1
  • Other problems that can occur after surgery include loss of appetite, steatorrhea and dumping syndrome. (thieme-connect.com)
Present1
  • We have found the low blood sugar curve most frequently present in one definite group of lesions, the idiopathic steatorrheas. (jamanetwork.com)
Stool8
  • Fatty Stool / Steatorrhea means that you have excessive amounts of fat in your poop. (drumangkhanna.com)
  • The fact that olestra passes through the intestine without being absorbed results in a higher than normal fat content in the stool and this, claims researchers at the Baylor University Medical Center, can cause serious problems when testing patients for suspected steatorrhea (malabsorption of fats). (yourhealthbase.com)
  • Olestra may remain in the stool for up to seven days so it is important that physicians ensure that their patients have not consumed olestra in the week prior to being tested for steatorrhea. (yourhealthbase.com)
  • It is also bulky, greasy, and extremely foul-smelling (such stool is called steatorrhea). (dekooktips.com)
  • Excess fat accumulates in the feces, which is light in color, mushy, thick, greasy, and extremely foul-smelling when there is insufficient fat absorption in the digestive system (such stool is called steatorrhea). (dekooktips.com)
  • Patients demonstrating fat in stool (i.e., steatorrhea) may have a correlation to pancreatic diseases or other fat absorption diseases. (swirlzcupcakes.com)
  • People with this variety will often present with signs and symptoms of malabsorption, including diarrhea, steatorrhea (fatty stool), iron-deficiency anemia , weight loss, or growth failure. (diabetesselfmanagement.com)
  • Steatorrhea is characterized by excessive fat in the stool. (picmonic.com)
Malabsorption2
  • Thus people who have eaten olestra-containing snacks prior to being tested for malabsorption would be highly likely be diagnosed as suffering from steatorrhea. (yourhealthbase.com)
  • Diarrhoea, steatorrhea and/or weight loss occur because of nutrient malabsorption and secretion of fluid and electrolytes, exacerbated by the osmotic effects of malabsorbed nutrients. (vin.com)
Diarrhea3
  • Some patients have significant diarrhea or steatorrhea. (msdmanuals.com)
  • Diarrhea in people with EPI is referred to as steatorrhea. (lluh.org)
  • Steatorrhea is different from standard diarrhea. (lluh.org)

Digestive system1
  • Steatorrhea is a symptom of many diseases that can affect different organs in your digestive system. (drumangkhanna.com)
Patients1
  • The mucosal monooxygenase activity of patients with normal jejunal histology and steatorrhea was significantly higher than in mucosa with villous atrophy but was only half of that observed in normal controls. (nih.gov)
Definition1
  • The definition of how much fecal fat constitutes steatorrhea has not been standardized. (wikipedia.org)
Pancreas1
  • Because a patient may not experience steatorrhea until after the pancreas loses 90 percent of enzyme production, it can be difficult to diagnose EPI. (lluh.org)
Nutritional status1
  • Dosage should be adjusted according to the severity of the disease, control of steatorrhea and maintenance of good nutritional status. (globalrph.com)
Weight loss1
  • Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is a popular and extremely effective procedure for sustained weight loss in the morbidly obese. (nih.gov)

Tests1
  • Positive results on tests for steatorrhea in persons consuming olestra potato chips. (yourhealthbase.com)
Pain1
Result1
  • Therefore, oxalate solubility and permeability in the RYGB model are promoted by steatorrhea and result in enhanced passive oxalate absorption and hyperoxaluria. (nih.gov)
